| Juanita Bynum II |
Let me first state this unequivocally...I have received the gift of the baptism of the Holy Ghost which is an experience subsequent to salvation, and I DO speak in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and that with confidence according to scripture which states:
1 Cor. 14:2 ~ For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
I also understand that speaking in tongues is a present day gift of the Spirit of God delivered unto men for edification of both the individual and the church so that the will of God can be accomplished in this space and time continuum.
So neither "tongues" nor the "gift of tongues" are not in question as I believe ample biblical evidence can be delivered to support such practice and use of it in and among the congregation of the Saints both with and without an interpretation.
HOWEVER, with all of that said...what can't be supported is what Juanita II is doing. Having graduated from the $5,000 pen, and a wedding dress with a sword on her 50th birthday, in yet another saga and amazing chapter of the unbelievable mega- ministry mess that Juanita has become, Juanita Bynum II has struck once again to embarrass and bring shame to all Pentecostal believers.
In a Facebook post designed to pray for the family and church of the late Zachery Tims, Juanita II has gone to a ridiculously new height of utter lunacy along with adoring fans and die hard faithful by WRITING in what both fans and critics have deemed to be tongues. According to an Internet tabloid, "The Christian Post", Juanita appeared to write what appears to be an effort to relay the sentiments and direction of the spirit, only we cannot know what "spirit" it may have been... Many say it can only be deemed as "Facebook tongues". Among other things she posted this as a part of her prayer for the family:
"GIRD THEM UP IN THE SPIRIT...GIVE THEM A MIND TO PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE....WE CALL ON YOU JESUS....YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE!!!!!!!!NDHDIUBGUGTRUCGNRTUGTIGRTIGRGBNRDRGNGGJNRIC
YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE....
RFSCNGUGHURGVHKTGHDKUNHSTNSVHGN
YOU GOD......YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE!!!!!! OUR HOPE IS IN YOU FATHER......OUR STRENGTH FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS IS IN YOU FATHER......HELP US NOW......LORD WE DONT ASK FOR HELP FOR JUST THEM....THIS IS US....THIS IS A PART OF OUR OWN BODY....."
What In The World Is This???
This is the same Juanita II that describes herself as an "International Empowerment Lecturer, Recording Artist, Author, Conference Host and Entrepreneur." She is an IELRAACHE (in Blogger tongues- cause there is a difference between Facebook and Blogger language-LOL!!!)
This is RIDICULOUS and IS NOT inspired by God for sure! She must have spilled soda on her keyboard and attempted to clean it up but it's certainly not Holy Ghost inspired. How do YOU know Pastor Burnett??? I know by these facts....Apostle Paul records:
1 Cor. 14:18-19 ~ "18-I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 19-Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue."

First, Paul who recorded that he spoke with tongues frequently and abundantly DID NOT write one word of the New Testament instruction in tongues...not ONE WORD! In each epistle, Paul spoke the language that was apropos to the community to which he was directing his conversation. If ANYONE would write in tongues, (which would have been a language, not a mere placement of letters) we should see it among the Apostles, however such garbage as what we see with Juanita II, is ONLY an invention of modern sick minds and spirits. This is Not an authentic move of the Holy Ghost and cannot be supported by scripture in any way.
Secondly, Paul states specifically, when there is an edification to the church in general, this should be followed by an interpretation...This prayer is "supposed" to be an edification to the church and family. There is no interpretation present in Juanita II's writing...Therefore, the practice violates scripture in this way also.
So building on these facts, there is no scriptural warrant for the practice and also no interpretation by which anyone's understanding can be made complete or better. Therefore, there is NO WAY that this can be either inspired by God nor a move of God in any way.
Crass Sensationalism
Very few of the modern mega-ministry stars, desire to be solid or straight line and biblically founded...too many want to be soooo vastly different and above everyone else that they become just that...vastly different and above everyone else...Blind and obscured by stardom and the desire for success, caught in the embrace of modern idolatry, it is the "star" seeking stardom that have mad a mockery of all that is called holy in modern times.
Do not be confused! God yet has a holy and righteous people, but please be careful, because many of those who are presenting themselves in TV and radio venues today are doing the church more damage than help.
To the Saints I simply leave with this:
1 John 4:1 ~ "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
By the way, when asked by the Christian Post for a clarification, Juanita II's staff did not respond right away. So I suppose this is one of those modern "mysteries" of ministry...YEA RIGHT!!!
Blessed!
See the comments section for Juanita II's description of God as the "many breasted one" which is a description of the idol,goddess Diana of Ephesus whom Paul preached against. This lady goes from one level of bad to a completely new level of worse!

Not only that, but she describes God as a "many breasted one"...This is even worse...This is describing and ascribing a DEMON as God.
ReplyDeleteIn the article she ascribes God as being Diana of Ephesus. This is what she said:
"BE A COMFORT TO THEM.....YOU ARE THE MANY BREASTED ONE...."
Here is the Link for Diana...she was the goddess with many breasts. The God of the bible was not described in such fashion. We know Juanita II is messed up, could this be why? Does she worship idols also?
"Tongues" as I hear it today is nothing but jabbering jibberish with no meaning to anyone in the congregation--Twist the scriptures to fit your aberrations be they tongues,keepin' saturday for sunday,infant baptism vs adult baptism,when the so-called rapture is,whether or not there is a trinity,etc,etc,etc,etc.Juanita's tongues are phony but yours ain't--guess what? you're both full of hooey on the tongues issue.It's utter self-indulgent nonsense! Vanity--all is vanity!
ReplyDeleteDave,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, I don't mind opposing views but How do you know?
Anyone can state anything. But where is the support for what you believe?
It's so easy to write in "tongues": yay babba boshay mamama shondalala! Any fool can write gibberish, call it tongues and make it sound really "spiritual", and weak minded sheeple will swallow it hook line and sinker. Tongues are indeed for the Church and the believers but when done publicly, SOMEBODY in the audience should be able to understand what's being said, which is what happened on the Day of Pentecost in Acts. 3000 got saved that day because of "tongues" because they heard the Gospel being preached IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE. This is what public tongues is really all about.
ReplyDeleteJB has now stooped to a ridiculously new low. She is preaching the doctrine of devils. No where in the Bible does it say that tongues are written down but instead are SPOKEN. Words are very powerful and words spoken under the anointing of the Holy Spirit can send legions of demons fleeing or convict men and women to get saved. But who are we to judge the Mand or Womand of Gawd when they move in the "spirit" as some miguided brethren will accuse us of doing here? Jesus said be harmless as doves but wise as serpents for Satan will desire to sift the believers as wheat. There is a gift of the Spirit for that. It's called discernment.
The problem seems to be further exacerbated by the followers of this woman and other false prophets of the sort.
ReplyDeleteThe followers give ministries like this affirmation to continue. What they are doing is keeping idolatry alive. I mean look at it...this woman prays to the "many breasted one" There is not a biblical description of God and yet, she is supported and people keep sending money and buying CD's...
Then others are PIMPS that push these sort of ministries on their TV and radio stations. How can you present a ministry to the public that calls GOd the "many breasted one" and deals in such instability? You know how? Because many of the pushers are unstable themselves! Their minds are warped to begin with.
So the only thing that empowers false teaching and what is tantamount to mental anguish such as this, is the people that promote and support it...
God help us to understand and support and promote righteousness above all else-Amen!
I caught the "many breasted one" comment as well and was said all her "ttbhryhrb ..." made more sense than what she typed that was legible. Thank you for clarity on what she was probably referring too, all so sordid ...
ReplyDeleteLaPreghiera,
ReplyDeleteThat's the key, I don't think she was intentionally referring to goddess Diana...the spirit that has her bound did that...
This lady is caught up and no telling what type of prophetic words that she is giving as a result of having what can only be deemed as the wrong spirit. That's a mess!
Pastor Burnett-I don't mean to start trouble....But how is a open oneness apostolic pentecostal (who denies almost everything the bible says about Christ and justification by faith alone) a brother ? Do you mean a black bother or a brother in Christ
ReplyDeletePastor have you seen this series called bynum therapy, which was done in 2009, but has (unfortunity) been taken down within the last month? It is in regard to Juanita's birthing ceremony. It sights comparisons to dianic wicca within Jaunita's ceremony, to actual rebirthing ceremonies in dianic wicca. Which brings me to the conclusion that what Jaunita said in the Facebook entries were less the result of oppression by devils and more "Freudian slips", because the Holy Spirit is exposing who she really is.
ReplyDeletethebereanchallenge,
DeleteNow that one was a new one on me. I can't believe...well yes I can...that Juanita would just put out witchcraft "in the name of da lord". As you said, the heart is being revealed no matter how they try to cover. The problem is that the people, in general, have no skills of discernment. So that leads to the question, is she successful at what she does because of her, or because of the people? I think it may be a combination. She is good at apostasy and the people despise real truth.
